I've been on this website for years now. Seen a number of threads on this. Is there anyone who has come remotely close to how it is? I don't live in LA anymore, and when my parents come to visit the grandkids (and me I suppose), I have them bring some. Is there anyone close to figuring out the mystery?

Ranch dressing powder and cream cheese gets you pretty close. Don’t over power it.

The smooth texture is highly underrated, its like they shred the chicken up until its almost a fluid/paste.

A combination of Hellman's mayo and sour cream gets you pretty close. I haven't tried the cream cheese. I have tried various proportions of the ranch dressing dry mix and liquid and had no success with the Ranch.

Tried it once. Didn't stand out enough for me to make a special trip back.

What I’ve heard is there is some powdered seasoning that isn’t made anymore that is the secret ingredient to the flavor.

Mix some chicken base in with the mayo before mixing.

Murray’s in St. Amant has an even better chicken salad.
